Since when has a single manufacturer's methods been 'usual'? As I understand it, there are differences in the load limiting method used by every manufacturer.
but B' managed it without making a particular control input ridiculously OVERsensitive. Why could airbus not go down the same route of load limiting?
Why should they? It's not like everything Boeing makes becomes a de facto standard!
Another thing worth bearing in mind is that the A300 was specified in the late 1960s, around about the same time as Boeing were developing the first generation of aircraft that would use the load-limiting method you refer to. Airbus may not even have been aware of the development of the variable-feedback method.
I just hate the fact that I think the pilot was unfairly blamed.
Again, he wasn't.

Ah, so for you 'commonsense' and 'open minded' means "Everyone who agrees with me".
